Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF25X20CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF25X20CM is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 20mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel for mildly corrosive environments. For the same bore and stroke it is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving mounting space.

About the Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF25X20CM
Delivering a net pull force of 153.6 N at 0.5 MPa, this JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder uses a spring to hold the rod extended and compressed air to retract it. The MTF25X20CM features a 25 mm bore, a 10 mm rod, and a 1/8 inch port. Because air only pulls the rod inward, the unit fails safely to the extended position during air loss, making it ideal for spring-open and air-close operations.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the compact body is shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable mounting length while resisting mild corrosion and washdown environments. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without upgrading to an -S variant. It relies on fixed TPU bumper pads for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes a CM round-end rear cover for direct mounting.

Where the Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF25X20CM Is Used
Tensioning Systems
Uses the 153.6 N pull force to maintain constant belt or web tension, automatically snapping back to the extended rest position if air pressure drops.
Fail-Safe Valve Control
Drives a valve to the closed state via air retraction, with the internal spring pushing the rod out to open the valve during an air loss event.
Clamp Retraction
Pulls a 20 mm stroke packaging clamp inward to release a carton, using the spring to push the clamp back out and clear the workspace at rest.
Is the Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF25X20CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 25 mm bore model, evaluate the force margin against adjacent bores: the MTF20 provides 93.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while the MTF32 offers 266.8 N. The 153.6 N output here yields a safe working load of roughly 92 N, or an effective vertical lift capacity of about 7.8 kg when applying a 2:1 safety margin. Choose this single-acting pull configuration for tensioning or return-to-extended fail-safe tasks, ensuring your system can supply at least the 0.2 MPa floor required to overcome the spring.
Mounting flexibility is extensive despite the fixed CM back cover, supporting LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block, and TC trunnion brackets. Remember that this non-magnet version cannot host position sensors; if your cycle requires confirmation, select the -S magnet option to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.2 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MTF Mini Cylinder MTF25X20CM FAQ
This single-acting pull cylinder provides a net pull force of 153.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 236 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal spring, with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. Additionally, the spring drives the rod to the extended position on air loss and will not hold a mid-stroke load.
